Rafael Nadal says he and his family are ‘very well’ after birth of first child
Rafael Nadal says he was ‘thrilled’ to be able to enjoy his new baby girl, his and his family’s first, in his homeland.
Nadal, 34, said he felt’very good’ when the baby was born at 6.25am local time on Friday morning in Spain.
